Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until whipped, fully incorporated and smooth, about 30 seconds.(Alternatively, process in a food processor until fully incorporated and smooth, 35 to 45 seconds.)
Spread a heaping 1/4 cup cheese mixture evenly over 1 side of each tortilla. (Reserve remaining cheese mixture for another use.) Arrange 1/3 cup carrots, 1/3 cup sprouts, about 1/2 cup tomatoes and about 1/4 cup bell pepper over the cheese layer of each tortilla. Lay turkey slices evenly over the vegetables.
Tightly roll up each tortilla; wrap individually in foil. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Remove and discard foil. Slice each roll crosswise into 8 (about 1¼-inch-thick) slices. Arrange on a large platter and serve.
To make ahead
Refrigerate cheese spread (Step 1) in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
